Andy circles the house, looking in all the windows. He comes to Diana’s bedroom window.

He watches her get ready for bed, all the while taking pictures.

INT. DIANA’S BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS

Diana removes her clothes and goes into the bathroom to shower.

EXT. DIANA’S BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS

Andy, obsessively caught up in his passion, can’t stop watching.

Diana returns from the shower, towels off and puts on her pajamas.

She gets into bed and reads. Andy takes photos of every step.

Eventually Diana switches off her reading light and goes to sleep.

Andy clicks one last photo, then surreptitiously makes his way back down the block to his car.

EXT. DIANA’S HOUSE - MORNING

Diana opens her front door to leave and notices a manila sized envelope on her front step. She picks it up and opens it. She pulls out full sized photos and flips through them. Her expression goes from puzzled to horrified and sickened.

Andy sits at a table with Diana. They are both dressed elegantly. Andy takes Diana’s hand.

ANDY

I’m so happy you agreed to come with me.

DIANA

You were persistent.

ANDY

You mean persistence paid off?

DIANA

(chuckles)

Yes, I’d say it did in this case.

Andy gazes at Diana. He’s clearly in love.

ANDY

Diana, you are fantastic.

DIANA

(shyly)

Thank you.

Andy moves in to kiss Diana. At the last minute she puts her hand between their lips, stopping the kiss.

DIANA (CONT'D)

You still need to woo me. Show me how much you care.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. BEDROOM - MORNING

Andy wakes up from DREAM. He lets out a big SIGH.

ANDY

You know, you’re right. I’ve got to show you how much I care.

EXT. DIANA’S BLOCK - MORNING

Andy parks around the block from Diana’s house. He takes his camera, then gets out of the car and walks toward her house. He spies her working in her garden. He finds a place to hide and starts taking pictures.

I’m sure the firefighters are doing all they can to avoid any fire damage to our community.

ISA

But -

ANDY

Isa, don’t worry. Even if the whole town burns down, I will still marry you guys. I am committed to your ceremony.

ISA

Thank you.

ANDY

Speaking of which, this is our last session before the big day. I’m satisfied after meeting with you both over the last couple months that you are a great match. So why don’t we use this time for any questions you may have, spiritually or not, about what lies ahead.

MIKE

Sounds good.

ISA

Sure.

Andy waits.

ANDY

Do you have any questions?

ISA

(embarrassed)

Um...we were talking the other night and...

MIKE

...and, even though we are committed whole-heartedly to one another, we were wondering...

ISA

...about, you know...the, ah...

MIKE

...well, you know how everyone always jokes about the passion waning after marriage...

ISA

...right, we don’t want that to happen...we don’t want the passion to, ah...

ANDY

Wane.

MIKE AND ISA

Right.

ANDY

I understand what you’re saying and it’s a great question. How does a couple in love keep the passion alive?

Mike and Isa nod.

ANDY (CONT'D)

Trust in your love for one another, trust in God to guide you, and trust in your own imaginations to be thoughtful and creative. Look, there’s no pat answer to this. You’ll have to feel it out, excuse the pun, as you go along.

Mike and Isa laugh.

ANDY (CONT'D)

But, with the commitment you’re making to one another, I’ve no doubt you’ll be able to meet that challenge.
